Hawthorne Strategic Advisors
THE ADVISORY PROCESS
At Hawthorne, we believe strategic planning is an active process; one that should center on action. We also believe that the process should be continuous. Finally, we focus on those that we believe have taken the greatest risks, ownership.
Our firm provides you with an integrated advisory service in which we:
- Identify Decision making framework
- Identify your objectives
- Analyze and recommend strategies for attainment of your objectives
- Develop a sound strategic program to help provide the resources needed to reach your goals
- Provide ongoing advice, assistance with execution, and help you stay on track to achieve your objectives.
Whether we assist you on the broadest strategic issues or in narrowly defined engagements, our process builds on the same foundation. Our objective is to produce meaningful results through execution of a strategic approach.

Based on the success definition, we assemble the necessary information and team to assess that information and produce purposeful action.
- Progressive Approximation
Purposeful action is what most entrepreneurs need most. Business and life move too quickly to stop dead to analyze for too long. Purposeful action, or progressive approximation, requires that you diligently assemble and assess data AS you take best guess action. Any strategic plan or action plan that suggests that a specific result will be achieved is at best misleading. If the future was known, business wouldn’t be competitive. We must take action that gives us the best chance of achieving objectives, monitor those actions closely and make adjustments as necessary. This is true whether you are starting a business; selling a business; or managing the growth of a business.
